Frequently Asked Questions
Is it legal to buy a ready-made company?
Yes, it is a standard business practice throughout Europe and worldwide. You are purchasing the shares (quotas) of an existing legal entity. The process is regulated and overseen by Portuguese notaries and the Commercial Registry.
Does the company have debts?
No. Our companies are "dormant" and have never traded. They have no commercial activity, no employees, and no outstanding obligations. Every transfer comes with a legal warranty that the company is free of debts, liabilities and previous trading.
Can I change the company name?
Yes, you can request a name change during the transfer process. We will check availability with the Registry and include the name change in the notarised deed. This typically adds 2-3 days to the process.
Do these companies have bank accounts?
Some premium companies come with active corporate bank accounts. Others are "bank-ready" for immediate opening. We offer banking assistance as an additional service to help you open accounts with Portuguese banks or fintech solutions.
How long does the transfer process take?
The standard transfer process takes 24-48 hours once we receive all required documents. Complex cases or name changes may take 3-5 business days. We keep you informed at every step.
Do I need to visit Portugal?
No. The entire process can be completed remotely. You will sign a Power of Attorney that allows our legal team to complete the transfer on your behalf at the Portuguese notary.
